It's a no brainer that if you want to get better at something, you have to put in the time. I think of athletics - you don't just wake up able to shoot the 3, it takes thousands of shots in your driveway. Larry Bird was known to shoot 1,000 free throws a day, and whala, he shot 90% for his career. Same could be said for musicians, artists, public speakers, etc. If you want to grow or improve in these areas, you have to put in the time.
Why does it seem so difficult to "put in the time" when talking about our relationship with God? It's a constant battle to spend time doing something that we claim is important to us. Do we really not care if we grow? Do we really believe that prayer and the scriptures will change our lives? Is it important to us enough to find time?
